Actress Juhi Chawla and her hubby Jai Mehta along with Shahrukh Khan have launched an ambitious plan to build a cricket stadium in Porbandar, Gujrat. The reason why Mahatma Gandhi’s birthplace has been selected is because Jai’s family has roots there as well.
The Kolkata Knight Riders owners plan to take over the existing Duleep cricket ground in the city and build a state-of-the-art stadium to be named after Nanji Kalidas Mehta — Jai’s grandfather — in its place. The Mehtas also have other business interests in the vicnity of Porbandar.
Apart from adding another venue to Gujarat’s cricket itinerary, it is also being viewed as a centre where the KKR team can have training camps.
Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan is most likely to be in Chennai today. The actor is scheduled to perform tomorrow at the inaugural function of the current season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The actor is all set to rock the much awaited opening ceremony, which will kick start the fourth season of the cricketing league.
The event has already garnered the attention of cricket crazy fans in the country, post the re-auctioning of players. Confirming the news, B Srinivasan of Team Chennai told, “Yes, he is performing at the event”.
The opening ceremony will be a high profile ceremony with King Khan shaking a leg to some super hit filmi numbers. A source informs, “The actor is rehearsing in Mumbai at the moment for the big event. He will land in the city this afternoon”.
All eyes are on the opening match between defending champions Chennai and Kolkata that will be played in the city on Friday after the inauguration ceremony.
Meanwhile, captain of the home team, M S Dhoni is excited to b back in the city. He said, “I simply cut my hair after the World Cup win. But, considering the heat in Chennai, I think it’s a good decision”.

Its time for Shahrukh Khan to put on his dancing shoes and turn into an item boy for his home production “Always Kabhi Kabhi“. Sources working on the project reveal to us that Shahrukh’s dance number will be the key highlight of the movie that is being directed by Roshan Abbas and stars his friend Karim Morani’s daughter Zoa.
The insider reveals, “Shahrukh Khan has worked on his body and he will sport a new look to in the song. It is merely going to be used as a promotional tool to hype the movie much like what he had done earlier for Kaal in which he shook a leg with Malaika Arora Khan and in Rakesh Roshan’s Krazzy 4 for which he did it as a friendly gesture to the Roshans”.
With Shahrukh’s injury now being a thing of the past, he has his physique back and he intends to flaunt it in the song.
There were little spots of tension on the evening of Imran Khan and Avantika Malik’s wedding reception hosted by Maamujaan Aamir Khan and his wife Kiran Rao. After all, it was touted that Aamir would play mediator between expected guests Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan and get the two to patch up on this special night.
But alas, that was not to happen. Salman Khan reached the venue at about 11:45, sporting a jacket on top of his ‘Being Human’ t-shirt. Salman Khan walked in with brother Sohail Khan.
Apparently, Salman made a quick exit and that too from the back gate. Salman’s exit from the event happened way before Shahrukh Khan’s entry. SRK attended the event with wife Gauri Khan. They came in late night around 2:30 am.
So a patch up between Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan at this do was just not possible, though many a well wisher of the two Khans was hopeful that the hatchet would be buried, courtesy host Aamir.
We guess, we will have to wait for another celebration of this magnitude for such magic to happen.
When Karan Johar released the first look of his next project ‘Student of the Year’, with newcomers Varun Dhawan, Aaliya Bhatt and Siddharth Malhotra, what struck us most was the conspicuous absence of his best friend and buddy Shah Rukh Khan in the project.
But we all know by now that Karan Johar and Shah Rukh go inseparably hand-in-hand. So, now we have it that Johar has indeed kept a meaty role for King Khan in similar lines to that played by him in superhit ‘Mohabbatein’. Yes, actor will play a college professor whom the students adore and KJo is working on the script to make SRK’s role more powerful. For those who came in late, Shah Rukh is also co-producing the film.
In a dance reality show named Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa, in which Madhuri Dixit is a judge, the King of Bollywood complimented her by saying, how stupid of him to teach dance to Madhuri Dixit in the movie Dil toh Pagal hai as a protagonist.
The King also complimented her by saying that she is the best and wants to watch her again on the silver screen. Madhuri just couldn’t control her emotion and shed tears. Truly it was a great moment to watch.st looks in ‘RA.ONE’
Everyone knows that distinct fact that Kareena Kapoor is No.1 hottest non-vegetarian in Indian film industry. But again, the actress wanted to touch the superlative degrees of ‘Hot’ for her upcoming film ‘RA.ONE’ in which she shares screen space with Superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
So wanna know, what’s the secret behind her sexiest looks? Bebo wanted shed down few Kilos to gain the sizzling looks and sought the aid of her dietician Rujuta Diwekar. She indeed prepared three different diet foods for the actress for three different locations – Mumbai, Las Vegas and Flight Journey.
Finally, the actress managed to shed down 5Kilos and the closer sources reveal that she looks hotter than before and is sure to woo down the audiences with her oomph factors.
Guess what, the Khans are together. Shah Rukh and Salman, that is. Absolutely, side by side. Hah, gotcha! In frames that is, clicked by celeb foto genius Dabboo Ratnani, no less.
Hopes of seeing the Khans together in the future might possibly be restricted to this round of proximity. Dabboo Ratnani held a recent exhibition of the frozen images clicked by him and star attendance, expectedly was in no deficit.
The latest hot shot: Sonakshi Sinha zoomed into the DB exhibition looking rather dishy in her white ensemble. And in a dramatic twist that's likely to soar up the photo value of the snap… she posed exactly in the middle… flanked by SRK on one hand and mentor Salman on the other!
Incidentally, SRK's "patch up moves" on Karan Johar's chat show have gotten the (star) goat of Salman. The explosive Khan is all set to lose his shirt some more, over SRK's comments.
"If he really wanted us to patch up, he could have called me or come to my house," rants Salman in a tabloid chat. "Expressing regret on a chat show makes no difference to me. Shah Rukh's doing this so that I'm hounded by the media over his question for the next one year. I'll not accept such drama."
Believe it or not, but Rajinikanth was not the first choice of filmmaker Shankar, for Endhiran.
Shankar initially wanted either Kamal Hassan or ShahRukh Khan for the role opposite Aishwarya Rai. However things didn’t turn out as expected and the project was grabbed by Rajinikanth.
After giving hits like ‘Sivaji’ with director Shankar, Rajinikanth is extremely happy to work with him again.
Enthiran is a forthcoming Tamil science fiction film co-written and directed by S. Shankar. The film features Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai in the lead roles with A. R. Rahman working on background score and soundtrack.The film will be released worldwide on 24 September this year. It is known for being the most expensive Asian film ever made.
Paris-based Indian filmmaker Vijay Singh is set to do what none has been able to in Hindi film industry so far. He’s in talks with Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan for his next project, an 18th century historical love story between an Awadh king and a British girl.
Singh, who has shot critically acclaimed feature films like Jaya Ganga and One Dollar Curry in the past feels that Shahrukh, who has previously played emperor Ashoka, will be perfect as Nawab Naseeruddin Haidar in his third film, The Opium Symphony, based on his book Whirlpool of Shadows.
“I had met Shah Rukh regarding the movie and he had liked the idea. I am planning to approach him again for the role of the Nawab. He ruled Awadh from 1826-36 and fell in love with a British girl but their love did not suit the interest of opium traders at that time,” Singh said in an interview.
The coup is that to play the British girl, Singh has his eye on Katrina Kaif.
“Earlier I was planning to take a Hollywood starlet opposite him for the role of the British girl but I might talk to Katrina Kaif. I have been told she is British and is a fine actress,” Singh said.
The King Khan knows how to plan big! Shahrukh Khan’s kids now think of him as a ‘big hero’ and his wife isn’t complaining because they all met the pop star Shakira in South Africa. ‘Waka Waka’ time, yeah!
Besotted by the sensational Latino, SRK tweets, “Gorgeous, gracious and absolutely heartwarming Shakira. (She) was so nice to the kids. We are (her) fans for life.”
Shahrukh was in Johannesburg with his family to catch the finals of FIFA World Cup 2010. Shakira performed at the closing ceremony.
In fact, the King Khan has also posted two pics with Shakira on Twitter and writes, “Have never been more excited to meet a rockstar. The wife & daughter adore her...so do the father & son.”
Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif is the most searched celebrity on the mobile phones and has beaten the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu and Aishwarya Rai. The research was conducted by mBit Infotech, a Value Added Service(VAS) provider.
Among the Hollywood and Bollywood celebrities, Katrina is on the number one spot followed by Angelina Jolie, Kareena, Shah Rukh, Salman, Bipasha, Aishwarya, Monica Bellucci and Aamir Khan.
Commenting on the results, Raghavendra Agarwala, CEO of mBit Infotech, said: "It is amazing to see that Katrina Kaif is ruling the charts with a major pie, presumably implying that Katrina’s popularity is mounting for both national and international audiences."
The research is based on the searches performed by over 120,000 users of mBit in the first quarter of 2010 (Jan to April) and it also found out that "sex" is still the most popular searched keyword followed by music where mostly international music icons like Akon, Linkin Park, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Rihanna and Michael Jackson top the list.
It doesn’t get bigger than this for IIFA 2010. None other than the badshaah of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan will be performing at the awards night.
He gave IIFA a miss for consecutive five years apparently because of some differences with IIFA brand ambassador Amitabh Bachchan. But that is past for SRK now. Now he is not only performing on stage but will also be seen in an IIFA charity match between Bollywood stars and Sri Lankan cricketers.
The organizing company Wizcraft proudly announces this to the press, “This year Shahrukh Khan will be performing at IIFA.”
Other than SRK, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Ritesh Deshmukh and Vivek Oberoi will be dancing at the award function on the final day of the 3-day gala event.
IIFA is from June 3-5 in Colombo.
Karan Johar is currently in New York for the release of the English version of My Name Is Khan in two theatres of New York on May 5.
“It is meant for the non-NRI audience. It’s crisper, sharper cut and we hope to create a new market for Bollywood films,” says Karan.
Karan Johar, who left for New York for three weeks on Tuesday night, has discovered a new side to his personality that he never knew existed.Hosting the show Lift Kara De which ended last week, he discovered how little people from privileged classes gave to the needy.
Says Karan, “I don’t know how successful the show was. But it put me in touch with the real world. The show was about philanthropy and I understood the joy there is in giving. To meet all those needy individuals who came on the show connected me to a reality that most of us in the entertainment industry are cut off from the outside world.”
Karan was also bowled over by the amazing connectivity between the audience and the stars.
“Akshay Kumar,” Karan says, “with whom I recorded my last episode of Lift Kara De, has such an amazing and genuine bonding with his fans. Who says stars don’t care for the common man?”
Though the TRPs of Lift Kara De were not too encouraging Karan decided after hosting the show is to make a cinema that is reflective of a far larger truth than the elitist lifestyle his characters almost always assume.
Immediately on the anvil after his return from New York is Season 3 of Koffee With Karan. “I start work on that in July. But it won’t be in the same chatty mood any more. I think two recent events my film My Name Is Khan and to a lesser extent the TV show Lift Kara De have made me less self-centered. They’ve made me look outward into the world outside.”
The wax figure of Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan is being especially flown from London’s Madame Tussauds Museum to the one in Hong Kong on popular demand.
The 44-year-old superstar’s life-size replica will be displayed alongside that of Hollywood stars Jackie Chan, Harrison Ford and Johnny Depp in Madame Tussauds Hong Kong for three months at the World Premiere section in the museum until July 21.
“Madame Tussauds Hong Kong has been receiving many more tourists from India in the last two years. While these guests enjoy meeting our unique collection of 100 international celebrities and world leaders, we are delighted to have Khan join our attraction,” Bret Pidgeon, General Manager of Madam Tussauds Hong Kong and Shanghai said in a statement.
The move to loan SRK’s statue from London has been taken following the success of Amitabh Bachchan’s wax replica last year.
“Following the success of displaying Amitabh Bachchan's wax figure at the attraction last year, we anticipate that Khan will be as popular with the Indian community in Hong Kong and guests visiting from abroad,” Pidgeon added.
